A tiny area in North Wales is on the brink of proclaiming its 'independence', setting out to form a micronation complete with its own flag, sigil, and coat of arms, along with passports set to be granted to the first 500 "citizens". Later this year, an embassy is expected to open in the High Street, while a national anthem is currently being crafted by a celebrated American musician.
The fledgling 'nation', named Bron-yr-Aur, will have its headquarters at a historic 18th-century cottage situated in Eryri (Snowdonia), famously associated with the legendary rock group Led Zeppelin. The founders are in the process of drafting a constitution, with plans to finance their national budget through music and art ventures.

Wouldn’t say yet another micronation is worthy of a news report.
Petoria rises again.
San Marino step aside. There’s a new worst football team in the world.
Some people have too much time on their hands
Is it April 1st already?!
If it keeps drakeford away I’m all for it.
So how are they going to run things? Are they going to pay tax for electricity they use etc ? What about the wages of hospitals and gps?
They’ll still have to pay council tax.
Welsh people looking at this: “hehe funny”
Scottish people when looking at Shetland: “so much as think about independence and you die”
They need a new anthem written by an American while they have two songs by Led Zeppelin written about them!
I bet they don’t have as many pot holes as the rest of the country.
Who collects the bins?
Sounds like it’s basically a performance art project to drum up culture in the town. I’m all for it.
The biggest problem I have with this is hiring an American to do the anthem instead of, you know, a local independent one? Tells me all I need to know.
